PAGE TWO. THE MORNING ASTORIAN, 'WEDNESDAY, MAY 18, 1904. FIGHTING LINE IS NEARING HEADQUARTERS OF ALEXIEFF Chinese Are Restless War Correspon dents Still Hindered By Rus sian Authorities. Mukden. Monday, May The ' lighting line is steadily nearlng Muk den, where Viceroy AlexlefTs head- Quarter Estill remain, tittle reliable information can be obtained by the newspaper correspondents, who are forbidden to proceed to the scene of . operations, and omchil Information is withheld until advices are sent to St, Petersburg. It Is now. known, how ever, that the Japanese are almost vlthin striking distance of the Rus sians and that the forces protecting Liao Tang are stretching eastward from the railroad along the Maotlen mountain range. - The Japanese are advancing In three columns and are now , north of Slu Ten and Fengwangeheng. Two col uns are reported to be working further to, the northward with the object of turning the Russian position and ad vancing upon Mukden. Numerous small engagements have been fought, but no decisive action has taken place. Port Arthur is now completely isolated by the Japanese expedition at Polandlen. The Jap anese are now operating in a rugged country well suited to the Russian de- tense; but north of Liao Tang to Muk den the country Is a flat plain, inter sected by rivers. The weather recent ly has been hot and dry, but the rain which has fallen in the past two days has made the roads almost impassable for vehicles and when the rainy season begins at the first of June the plain will be converted into a morass. This condition will probably result in the practical suspension of operations. Mukden is now the receiving center for the wounded from the various en gagements south of Maotlen moun tains. A hospital has been established in the Lama temple, in the outskirts of the town and a field hospital has been located in a wood near the mili tary camp around the station. A sig nificant feature of the situation is the demeanor of the Chinese population which may be said to be a barometer of the military weather. A close ob server of the expressions and general attitude of the Chinese can tell how the fighting 100 miles away ia turn ing. They have rapid and mysterious channels of information which the re sult of the battle of Fengwangeheng spread and could be suspected from the outward manner of the Chinese before the Russians made it known here. The cutting oft of Port Arthur Is another instance in point The newspaper correspondents are most courteously treated by Colonel Poestlch, the officer whom Viceroy Alexieff appointed to attend them, but they are chafing under the restrictions imposed here which prevent them from seeing any of the fighting. Genera Kuropatkin is evidently unwilling that the foreign correspondents shall wit ness the present phase of operations, though he may accept them in the in definite future when the Russians are able to make a sweeping advance. tstence with 180,000 members, have been discussed at a meeting of dele gates from the various societies. No definite plan was made however, It being decided to bring the matter be fore a mass meeting later at Carnegie hall. The object of the'prooosed fed eration Is not stated. EMBEZZLER 8ENTENCED.

At the same time the Cossack regiments will be employed In the rear of the Japanese army of the Yalu, harasHlng the troops and inter fering with Its communication. The Russians admit the advance of the Japanece army to a point within 15 miles of Haicheng, many of their wounded entering there. The nearest fighting exacted before the Japanese reach Niuchwang will be at Tashlylchao, but It will not amount to much. This city is now guarded by 300 Chinese police and everything la quiet. The Japanese force at Kal- chau Is reported 20,000 strong. Bee that your ticket reada vU tht Illinois Central R. R.
